Over the Edge (Sears Tower)

I have stood 103 stories in the sky, with nothing between me & plunging to death below except a pane of glass beneath my feet. Sears Tower, over the edge.

Strange Utterings

"Son, please don't play with Sissy's Woody," has got to be one of the oddest sentences I've ever uttered (Marty had Ellie's "Woody" doll [Toy Story] and Ellie wasn't happy about it).

Who Let the Cows Out?

Marty's quote du jour: "Who let the cows out? Moo? Moo? Moo, moo, MOO!"

But She Sure Liked the Bone

OMG! Today I'm fielding questions I'm not prepared for! Marty asked me: "Mommy, why does my boy part sometimes have a bone in it, and sometimes not?" Dear God I wish Geoff was home!

The Elders

I have been trying, in vain, to reclaim my son from his great-grandma & great-grand-aunt since Monday! Those two 70+year-old ladies keep swapping him back & forth!

Lizard Speak

I'm cracking up over here. There's been one last cricket in Shaowie's tank, hiding and singing loudly, for two weeks. While we were cleaning her tank, she caught it. It made a very loud, satisfying CRUNCH! Marty turns to me and says, "That's lizard speak for YUMMY!"

Chicago, Day 2

Chicago, Day 2: both kids have colds, but we had a great day at Shedd Aquarium! Now back to the hotel to swim!
